For those who felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* was too easy, Warhorse Studios is set to spice things up with an exciting new update. This patch will introduce a hardcore mode, allowing players to tailor their experience with challenging perks that impose negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, thereby intensifying the gameplay.

Players will have the option to select from an array of demanding perks, each designed to add unique complications to their journey:

• The "sore back" perk will limit the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increase the risk of injury during foraging activities like collecting herbs and mushrooms.
• Opting for the "heavy footsteps" perk means your shoes will wear out more quickly, and Henricus's steps will be louder, making stealth missions significantly harder.
• Choosing the "dimwit" perk will slow down your experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously highlighted this effect twice in the perk's description to drive the point home.
• The "sweaty" perk will cause Henricus to become dirtier and smellier at a faster rate, negatively impacting social interactions within the game.
• Lastly, the "ugly mug" perk will increase the chances of random encounters turning into tougher battles, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end.

These new additions are crafted to deliver a more immersive and challenging experience for players seeking a more demanding adventure in the richly detailed world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills or just want a tougher challenge, this update promises to deliver exactly that.
